Iowa volleyball sweeps past Iowa State Saturday

Sports

September 11th, 2021 by admin

CORALVILLE, Iowa — The University of Iowa volleyball team defeated Iowa State in straight sets on Saturday night in the final game of the Cy-Hawk Series Tournament.

Courtney Buzzerio tallied 15 kills, Mari Hinkle recorded 8 digs, and Bailey Ortega notched 26 assists to lead the Hawkeyes.

HOW IT HAPPENED

SET 1 (Iowa, 25-20): Scoring went point-for-point from the start. The Hawkeyes pulled energy from multiple hits by both Buzzerio andAmiya Jones — a dynamic duo in the front row. Iowa took the first big five-point lead at the 17-12 mark with no timeouts left for the Cyclones. Iowa State tried to climb back, but to no avail against Iowa’s scrappy play and powerful attacks.

SET 2 (Iowa, 25-19): Iowa State came in right off the bat challenging Iowa, aiming their serves and swings to open court. The Hawkeyes came back and held pace with aces and kills as the score stayed level. The first team to pull away from the game of cat and mouse was Iowa, 18-14. This lead featured back-to-back kills fromAddie VanderWeide. The Hawkeyes forced a Cyclone timeout when the lead became substantial at 22-16. Iowa stayed up, taking the set.

SET 3 (Iowa, 25-21): The trend continued with long rallies between the teams and the initial score going back and forth. The Hawkeyes were the first to pull ahead with a four-point lead, 17-13. The Cyclones rivaled back, climbing to a one-point deficit, 20-19. Ultimately, Iowa prevailed.

UP NEXT

The Hawkeyes travel to Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Fri., September 17 for the first match of the Mile High Invitational against Incarnate Word. First serve is scheduled for noon (CT).

Hawks bring home the Cy-Hawk trophy

Sports

September 11th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

The Hawkeyes will keep the coveted Cy-Hawk trophy yet again. No. 9 Iowa forced three turnovers in the third quarter, four in the game, and pulled away in the second half to beat No. 9 Iowa State 27-17. This is the sixth year in a row the Hawkeyes have beaten their arch-rivals. This one, however, was the biggest.

It was the first time ever each team was ranked, and each team was in the top 10. Plus, ESPN’s College GameDay was in town for the nationally-televised broadcast. Iowa was a 4.5-point underdog, but grabbed a 14-3 lead in the 2nd quarter on a Charlie Jones TD catch.

No. 9 Iowa State hosts 10th ranked Iowa

Sports

September 11th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says his team must execute at the critical times against Iowa. The ninth ranked Cyclones host the 10th ranked Hawkeyes today (Saturday) looking to snap a five game losing skid in the series.

Campbell says the first chore for the Cyclone defense is to slow down Tyler Goodson and the Iowa ground game.

The recent history of this series has been close games and Campbell says his players are used to these kinds of games.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says experience is an advantage for the Cyclones.

Ferentz says playing in a hostile environment will be a new experience for a lot of his players.

Ferentz says it is difficult to prepare for a road test.

Audubon churns out well-rounded performance in win over Fremont-Mills

Sports

September 10th, 2021 by admin

Gavin SmithThe Audubon Wheelers moved to 3-0 with a well-rounded 63-20 win over Fremont-Mills on Friday night. The Wheelers got contributions from each facet of the game and gave the Homecoming crowd plenty to cheer about. Gavin Smith led the charge with 185 yards and 5 scores on the ground, plus another through the air. Smith felt it was a strong team effort and the team adapted well to what the Knights threw at them.

Audubon struck first with a 51 yard touchdown pass from Smith to Matthew Beisswenger on their second offensive possession. Gavin would add another touchdown early in the second quarter with a 42 yard rushing score. Fremont-Mills answered the next possession with a 32 yard TD pass from Jake Malcom to Taylor Reed to make it 14-6. The Knights were called for an illegal procedure on the ensuing kickoff and had to kick from further back. That mistake bit the Knights as Matthew Beisswenger took that kick 75 yards for a touchdown to put the Wheelers up 21-6. A Carter Andreasen interception on the next Knights possession set the Wheelers up with a short field and they got another touchdown run from Smith. The Knights hit a couple of big pass plays to get a score in before half to make it 28-12 at the break.

Audubon then came out and set the tone with two long scoring drives in the third quarter. Their first possession went 8 plays in about 4 minutes, and was capped by a 2 yard Smith rushing score. They were able to force a turnover on downs to get the ball back on their own 8 yard line. The Wheelers then went 72 yards in 9 plays to score again with a run by Andreasen to grab full control of the game at 42-12. The Wheelers added three more scores while the Knights scored once more to come to the 63-20 final. Audubon Head Coach Sean Birks was proud of the way his team came out and performed.

The Wheelers move to 3-0 on the season and will open up district play next week at Exira-EHK. Fremont-Mills falls to 1-2 on the season, with two losses to top 5 teams. The Knights will host Bedford next week.
